Captain Samuel ii. Morrison, formerly Of
Bath, Me-, now resident Of Santa Cara,
Southern California, where he Is engaged In
fruit raising is making visit at his early
home. Captain Morrison was in command
of the Inflated Bath built ship, Rainier. at
the time Of her wreck in the Pacific ocean,
some three years ago. and with the crew ex-
perenced the thrilling adventures and start
ling incidents told by the first mate Of the
ship, Omar j. Humphrey, native Of Var
mouth Me-, In the book entitled "The
Wreck of the RAINIER" After this voyage
Captain Morrison gave up the sea, though
repeatedly offered commands by Bath own
ers, and settled in California, from whence
at the earnest solicitation Of her owners, he
went to the Pacific again to settle the case
OF the Bath ship "Hagarstorm," wrecked on
the China coast, and which was claimed for
salvage by a steamer which had assisted her
off the rocks. Captain Morrison succeeded
in amicably settling the difficulty, had the
ship towed to Shanghai, and there repaired.
In the port Of Shanghai the ship was sold
by cable to New Yerk parties and brought
to New York by Captain Morrison, when
the comparatively close proximity OF Bath
tempted him to visit his native town. First
Mate Humphreys, who, with his wife.
daughter Of Captain Morrison, were also
with the Rainier party, Is now resident OF
San Francisco, employed as first mate upon
one of the steamers which ply between San
Francisco. seattle and other Oregon and
Washington Territory points.

sW EET CORN.
Something for Farmers to Carefully
Consider.

Mr. l. G. Libby, the great cattle dealer Of
Maine, whose opinion is Of great value ON
agricultural matters. in a recent letter to the
Fairfield Journal ON the snbject of sweet
corn. states, among other things, as follows;
''Some thoughts obtrude themselves while
contemplating this canned corn industry,
that is fast developing into an immense bus
mess which seems to be one OF those things
like our Ice fields and summer resorts that
belong to Maine almost exclusively. The
other sections compete but 10 Is q conceded
fact that nowhere, East, West, North or
South, can so fine, delicious, nutritiye sweet
coru be raised as in Maine. This idea should
be recognized by our farmers and avantage
taken OF the situation. We who have been
connected with agricultural operations for
the last quarter OF a century can note
changes with which the farmer has to con-
tend. The potato crop that years ago was
looked upon as principal revenue with
which he could raise money to pay his taxes
and other cash expenses, has gradually
slipped from his grasp, particularly in the
older sections OF the State. Its enemies
have become so numerous as to preclude It's
probable growth to any great extent which
we do not regard as as any great calamity as
the crop deterorated the soil more than
any other raised while the cultivation Oh
corn always leaves the SOIL IN me condltlon
for any other crop, especially hay, which Is
of all others the most valuable. In raising
sweet corn for canning purposes the fodder
is a valuable item II looked after and cured
properly. Young cattle and even milk cows
do as well ON 1t as on good hay. Taking into
consideration the low price of beef we
think that the progressive farmer who
grows each year fine field Of sweet corn for
some reliable packing house and feeds his
other crops to cows and receives his cash for
corn and dairy products will succeed better
than in any other farm specialtles."
Judging from the reports of the press all
over the country, it would seem that the
canning of corn is about as advantageous to
the Gamers as the planting is to the farm
ers. The Newark Merchant and Manufac-
turer has the following on this subject:
"Not packer or dealer but has made
money and will make money out of this sea-
sons pack. Not reputable article on the
list but has been closely sold up or entirely
out of first and second hands. Corn has
stood up well and there is no indication OF
weakness anywhere. Every article OF
merit in the way of canned goods will 20
into consumption, and packers, negotiators
and dealers will all reap the benefit of one
Of the best seasons in canned goods known
for many years"

The Man Who Says He is the Father
of Prohibition.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Dec. 16-There was an
increased attendance of delegates at the
anti-Saloon Republican League convention
this morning. Dr. B. ID. Peck, who claimed
to be the father of the prohibitory law in
Maine. an old New England Republican,
said he introduced the first prohibitory
amendment in the Massachusetts, legislature,
on which Neal Dow based the Maine law.
He does pot believe in prohibition party,
as it has but one idea and said the third
party was sticking to one idea to its ruin.
The committee on permanent organization
reported Noah Davis, of New York, presis
dent. Judge Davis made ringing speech.
He encouraged all to continue in the work,
and look for certain recognition from the

Drinking Habit In Washington.

washington Despatch TO the N. u. Worlu.l
Drinking at Washington is as common
now as it was In the days of Daniel Webster,
and men will continue to drink as long as
the government exists. There is less intoxi-
cation and drunkenness, however, than ever
before, and the human appetite comes under
better control year after year. You will
rarely see Congressman intoxicated now.
though the House was full of drunken
statesmen in the days before the war, and
the prohibition sentiment which is spri nging
up all over the country has made many
public man a teetotaller. Senator Wilson, of
Iowa, believes that prohibition will be a ma
tional question, and he drinks nothing stron-
ger than water. Senator C0lQuitt OF Georgia,
lectures on temperance, and the only nquor
that Joe Brown drinks is Adams ale.
Brown was temperance man in Georgia
when it was dangerous to be one. He is
pillar of the Baptist church, and he believes
In pure water and lots of 1t. Blair Is also
teetotaller, and Spooner of Wisconsin, be-
lieves that strong drinks should be very del
icately handled. SpoOner read temper
nee lecture to one of his. Senatorial friends
the other day in strong language. telling him
he was going TO the devil and that he had no
business to let his mouth run away with his
brains.
Garland left off drinking years ago, making
the resolution to quit one day while in the
cemetery at Little Rock. He here looked at
grave after grave of young men whom he had
known when he was young, each Of whom
had started life as well off as himself, but all
of whom had been literally ruined by liquor
AS he looked at the graves he communed
with himself "These, my young friends,
are all gone, and it is easy to see what has
carried them away. Is it not strange that
have been spared and will the same fate hap
pen to me as has happeued to them?" Any
as he thought he decided that he had alreadd
had his share of alcohol and he there mady
up his mind that he wouldn't drink anybode
else's share. He swore off then and the
fact is that he has never touched drop
since.
There is undoubtedly no drinking to ex-
cess to speak Of among the Senators of to-
day. With one single exception l do not
know a Senator who appears in public under
the influence of liquor, and much more Is
made of Senatorial drinking than the subject
deserves.
